hmm that is really strange.. nview.dll is an nvidia graphics card utility and i've used process tamer myself on a computer with that without error.

what operating system? it happens as soon as process tamer tray utility starts?

i wonder if it's possible there is some sort of conflict -- it's hard to know of its nview at fault or process tamer, without more clues.. can you try to see if you can disable nview features and see if that stops the error.

Tried a bunch of things and nada. For testing purposes I'm going to nuke the partition (since I have a completely up to date image of the laptop and one with just the base XP install I keep for testing) and see if that works.
